• I wish to lodge a formal complaint that this slip road has not been repaired. It has been like this for a long time, yet today I see that 'the carriageway' right next to it in lane 1 has been resurfaced and YET no-one responsible for this job saw fit to repair and resurface the slip road at the same time. I want someone to call me so that I can arrange to make a formal complaint against the person or persons that have failed to do the job properly here. Let me spell this out; as the other commenters have observed not only can these pot holes do damage to cars but they are AN IMMEDIATE DANGER to motorcyclists who are PARTICULARLY vulnerable to this sort of scenario, while trying to look over one's shoulder AND navigate potholes ahead is a recipe for a serious accident where the bike becomes destabilised just as one is trying to merge with traffic. The slip road is a much more important place to fix the surface than the carriageway for this reason. In my view, if such a motorcycle related accident were to actualise, then whoever commissioned the recent carriageway resurfacing and failed to resurface the slip road will be wholly negligently responsible for such an accident. Please contact me to formalise the complaint.
